Ergonomics

List of complaints
This is just what I think, you are ABSOLUTELY free to disagree.

Ergonomically speaking, if we want a server that tolerates multiple languages, there MUST be a channel dedicated for each compatible language. When a person moves to a new city or country, their first move is to establish a home or community, like when a Hispanic person moves to Sweden they'd want to get into contact with the Hispanic community there, or else they'd feel lost, out of place and miss home (in our case, they'd leave the server).

Therefore, I suggest we get language channels. We should also keep the language roles too: this helps new people know which person to talk and which to not "bother".

Some people left the server despite having English as their main language, this is most likely because they see this place unworthy of our time. We need something that distinguishes ourselves (Besides Custom Game): as of now, all of our channels are of content that are hard to join in, especially for new players. This is because they don't know anybody (especially for a server that invites anyone as long as they play custom games) and therefore don't want to bother or interrupt other people. Of course, this doesn't apply to all new players, but it still applies to some, specially those random custom game players you can only find in the battles tab because they aren't part of any chatroom.

My proposal to the paragraph above is a room similar to The Happy Place in showdown, or a meme sharing room, which sounds really stupid. In this room, new people that don't know anybody can just share a meme of their sense of humour in a room that, by common sense, isn't meant for serious discussions or conversations, therefore allowing them to start building a sense of "home" through posting memes or shitposting. This room can accept memes in all languages, even "offensive" or dark memes, but perhaps racism should be banned.
The downside of this is that we would have to moderate if the memes are appropiate or not, and honestly, this solution would work better if our community is highly active and populated, which isn't. A memeroom is risky, but we could try a room similar to The Happy Place where you can just discuss anything non-related to Custom Game.

Speaking of which, we need a room that allows non-CG discussion, and #General is not it. Our server doesn't currently tolerate balanced hackmons and etc, but some people, especially new players, probably play those metas more, meaning that if we reject something that they like more than CG, they leave. This room as said before could just the stated solution of The Happy Place.

We now run into a risk of having too many rooms.
This is arguably the biggest problem for new people.
Humans like to keep things simple and organized, having more things to organize discomforts them. This is even worse when a single "category" is pilled up with more than 90% of all "things"

I think we could merge #Help and #Suggestions.
We could move #roles under the "ANNOUNCEMENTS", because its not a channel that is for "talkin and stuff".
We would also rename the section of ANNOUNCEMENTS since we already have a channel with the same name.

We also run into the same problem with bots: We already have 6, so lets not add more unless we need to.
Actually, do we really need a music bot (Mantaro)? Does anybody actually listen music through discord when more ergonomically and specifically designed websites/softwares/apps such as spotify, soundcloud and apple music already exist?
Removing mantaro would also remove the #music-commands channel.


We also need a room dedicated to bot-spam, and this cannot be #bot-config since non-admins would want to use bots like beyeeheem and google translate. We also wouldn't like bot spam during a serious discussion. This should also be done if we take into account that our community grows very big. A lot of people would mean a lot more people using these bots, increasing spam. Therefore we should have a bot-spam dedicated for non-admin use. Admins would just use #bot-config for stuff like making roles I guess or things that non-admins MUST not see. Actually I'd say we rename #bot-config into #bot-spam and allow it to be public.


This is all for now.
